The Jamaica Open Data Portal, launched in 2016 is designed to be a central online location for the publication of government data. It holds huge potential for business and researchers to use data to realise national development goals.

In 2016, two events occurred in Jamaica which we believe history will judge as watershed moments in Jamaica’s economic development. First, in June 2016, the Ministry of Science, Energy and Technology, (MSET) launched the Jamaica Open Data Portal [http://data.gov.jm], designed to be a central online location for the publication of government data in a machine readable format with no restrictions upon the use of the data.

Then, in December 2016, Prime Minister Andrew Holness signed a letter of intent committing the government to the Open Government Partnership (OGP) and to the development of a National Action Plan. Seventy-Seventy-five countries are members of the Open Government Partnership (OGP) [https://www.opengovpartnership.org/] with three – Trinidad & Tobago, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica – from the Caribbean. Members of the OGP commit to harnessing new technologies to make more information public in ways that facilitate civic engagement and increased transparency in government.
